What is a Cafe Racer?

Traditionally a cafe racer is a stripped down lightweight motorcycle which is modified as cheaply as possible to go as fast as possible. They were built generally by young "Ton up boys" using standard bikes to race with friends and rivals between cafes in the 1960's.

The bikes were usually minimal, anything not essential was removed to save weight, low bars were fitted and often a single hump seat. The rider wanted to get as low to the bike as possible!
